Genocide Awareness Project approved for SGA funds, allocated $1,000
Jazmine Rodriguez, chair of the Student Government Association Services and Public Relations Committee, has released a statement concerning the situation with the Genocide Awareness Project and SGA funds:
"On Wednesday, January 13th, 2010, members of the Financial Allocations for Organizations Committee funded a speaker to attend Students for Life’s Genocide Awareness Project. Students for Life is a registered student organization and is eligible for funding, as are all registered student organizations. Students for Life was funded to bring a speaker to their Genocide Awareness Project which was said to be taking place Tuesday, February 16th and February, January 17th.
The images portrayed outside of the Student Union were in no means funded by the Student Senate. The organization paid for those materials through their own means and did not present the controversial posters to Senate when the organization applied for funding. Furthermore, the Student Senate was also not aware of the content that would be presented at the display outside of the Student Union. As stated previously, the Student Senate did not allocate any funds towards posters or promotional materials, but only to a speaker.
The Student Senate, also known as the legislative branch of the UCF Student Government Association, is composed of fifty-two student leaders who are elected by the student body each year. The Senate works with students and represents them to the administration and to each of their colleges. The Senate also works with the many student organizations on our campus to provide them with the funds necessary for travel, conference registration, and event planning for organizational events or conferences."

If there are students who have misguidedly blamed the entire police department or called for anything drastic, I think it is unfair to connect those students to the ones who have been primarily organizing the "massive movements, e-mails and gatherings".
I also think that it is out of the question to assume that nothing happened and let this incident pass without drawing student and media attention to the issue and therefore I strongly support the initiative that students have taken to show public solidarity with Dr. Vest.
I recognize this as an opinion piece so I wont point out the bias, but I will say that the sources you are discussing here, perhaps should also be cited.
